Song: “Knowledge is Power.”
Author: Gaëlo
Verse1:
They made us believe we are different
truth is we’re all the same in this existence
holy book says love your neighbor as yourself
cuz the truth is – your neighbor is yourself
so if u hurt your neighbor you are just hurting yourself
fighting one another we fighting against ourselves
until we all understand this before we shall have world peace
the more wars, the more the elite gets wealthy
they don’t want peace; they are the ones who create the wars
then they make and sell weapons to the warrior
then they sit back, relax and watch people killing themselves
while they making money, they laugh at us like it’s funny
why is Africa so corrupt?
and why do we still have a modern-day colonialism
.. our leaders are selling our resources to the West
.. to make it worse, they still taking orders from the west
you know the rest
[Chorus]: X2
As man open eye everyday
I di wish say I see a better day
But things just di worse na everyday
E don turn be na jungle as e dey
Verse2:
knowledge, is power
my people die from the lack of wisdom
infected by the ignorant syndrome
learning never stops, it’s a continuous process
hard work pays off with continual progress
. question everything, learn the truth for yourself
do not believe the cheap lies the media sells to you
all they talk about Africa is war and starvation
all they talk about Islam is bombs and war… are you serious?
[Chorus]: X2
Verse3:
warning,
I might say something which u might be sensitive to
spread knowledge, create awareness is the concept of this song
but it’s unfortunate that religion,
is one of the main thing that creates the biggest divide between us
but at the same time, these religions claim to preach unity
if there’s only one God then why are there multiple belief systems
why does every one claim to be the truth and the others are false,
so who really is the truth and who are the fake ones?
is there really only one path to God as they all claim?
why do certain religious figureheads take advantage of their brainwashed followers?
why do certain preachers stay away from certain parts of the bible and only preach certain parts?
why were over 50 books taken out of the Bible
what are they trying to hide?
why do some religions blatantly belittle women?
they treat women like property or less than a human
why are there little to no women at the highest positions of power in religious institutions?
as u truly know, I didn’t formulate any of these things
these r all facts – these are things that happen on a daily basis in front of our own eyes
I’m simply reminding you of these things so you can pay attention to them and think for a change
until then, the world will never be a better place, don’t even waste your time trying to pray without putting in action
because the God only helps those who help themselves
